Rating: PG (I'm not really good at rating, so…judge yourself!
Summary: Lavender and Parvati thinks Harry and Hermione would make a cute couple, and decides to match make them. While they are doing that, Hermione and Harry tries to get Ron and Lavender together. The drama is obvious to everyone, except the ones who's in it. And being the mischievous fellows they are, Fred and George decides to mess things up a little. But what the twins don't know is that both Angelina and Katie have each set their minds on getting one of the twins together with Hormone. And when the whole thing backfires, Hermione finds herself stuck in a sticky situation that includes three love-struck boys who devours the ground she walks on…Hmm, maybe I should have her problem? Anyway, this story takes place during fifth year.
Authors note: Ok, I don't know which pairing that people like most, but I gotta say one thing: Hermione and George rocks! Hrm, hrm…you must excuse the "other" side of me (the one I always blame for my weird A/N!) but I have to agree with her. It just has to be Hermione and George! …or Fred…and maaaaaybe Harry. Well I just hope you will enjoy my little story, and by the way, I absolutely HATE Ron/Hermione so if you like my work and that pairing, don't expect something from me! Hm, I guess that's it…no wait! Forgot the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters. They belong to JK Rowling. Any of the made-up characters are my work, and my work alone. Also, the plot is mine, but its based on JK Rowling wicked cool books! There isn't any made-up character in this chapter, since I prefer to use the originals.

"How it all started"
It was a rainy, cloudy day in the end of November. Ginny and Hermione were sitting in the common room, chatting away while Harry and Ron played wizard- chess.
"Ha, check mate! Harry, I won over you again!
"Damn! Harry cursed fiercely under his breath. The girls watched them with interest for a while, before returning to their chat.
"Wanna play again, Harry?
"No, I don't think so…since you always win!
"Oh, well. I guess I'm just the winner type! Ron grinned.
"Yeah, whatever. Either that or I'm just really easy to beat!
"Actually," Ginny chimed in, "I think it's the second!" she said and started to giggle as Harry feigned hurt.
"Hey! That was mean! I'm not that bad, right?" he said with a little pout.
"Well Harry, I'm sorry to say this but its only for your own good." Hermione said, mimicking Percy's pompous tone of voice. "You really ARE that easy to beat! Now, now, I'm sure your have other good qualities" She said seriously and tried to stiff a very unPercy-like giggle.
"Well of course I have. You didn't think the Boy Who Lived were born completely talent less, did you?" and with that he flashed them his best Lockman-smile, which caused them all, including Harry to crack up in laughter. When they finally got them self together Ron got up from the floor and brushed himself of. Yawning, he stretched and began picking up some of the chess pieces that had fallen to the floor.
"Are you sure you don't want to play again Harry?"
"Positive"
"What about you Hermione?"
"Nope. Hey, why don't you play with Ginny?"
"I hrm, don't think so cause…Ginny don't wanna play, right Ginny?
"Oh I would love to play, Ron!"
"Well I don't" he muttered. "Actually, I think I'm gonna go to sleep. Good Night!" Ron quickly went up the stairs to his dormitory.
"Hey Ginny, why didn't Ron wanna play with you?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I think it has something to do with the fact that I always win!" Ginny grinned proudly, when Ron suddenly poked his head in.
"You do not!" he screamed.
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!" Ginny angrily got up and ran to her dormitory, after slamming the door so hard it almost fell off.
"Geez, wonder why they always fight?" Hermione said.
"Well, who knows with those two." Harry replied drowsily, he was really tired and were almost sleeping now. They sat quiet and watched the roaring fire while they talked. Or rather, Hermione talked and Harry mumbled an answer every now and then. Right now Hermione were telling Harry how unfair it was that Snape had given her arch rival, Draco Malfoy, a higher grade on an essay then hers. And Hermiones were better. She knew it! Suddenly, she realized Harry hadn't said a word for the last two minutes. [Oh my, am I really that boring?! Guess I just have to sacrifice myself and talk about something he loves…and I hate, or at least I hate to talk about it!]
"Um, so do you think were gonna win the next Quidditch game?" She asked a little hesitantly, not sure if she really wanted to know. She waited for the flow of enthusiastic words to come. She waited one minute…[Oh, maybe he just has to think of an answer!] two minutes…[Ok, now I know something's wrong!] then suddenly she heard a snoring sound just as Harry's sleeping form fell into her lap with a *thud*!
1 "Harry! You haven't been listening at all??!" she cried exasperated.
2 "Listened to what, Mione?" Lavenders voice said behind her.
3 "Oh nothing. Nothing at all."
4 "If you say so Mione. Hey, you two look really cute together when Harry's sleeping in your lap like that!"
5 "Err thank you, Lavender" Hermione said as she blushed a crimson red. She pushed Harry over on the couch and then quickly stood up, clearing her throat.
6 "I'm going to the dormitory, you coming?" she said a little nervously [Oh god, what are they up to now? I know that mischievous look. I know it to well. And it means trouble…for me. I better get out of here now!]
"Naw, were coming later. See ya, Mione!"
"Ok…" and with that little comment Hermione turned around and bolted up the stairs with lightnings speed. Lavender turned to Parvati who had seen the whole thing from the stairs.
"Ok Lavender, what is going on in your little head? It must be something brilliant, I can see that in your eyes."
"Don't you think that Hermione and Harry looked really cute together?"
"Um yeah, but what does that has to do with us?"
"Parvati! Did you left your brain in your bed today??!"
"Unless you mean that we should…matchmake them?" Parvati said slowly, suddenly understanding what Lavender was trying to say.
"Good girl!"
"That IS a brilliant idea!" [How could Lavender come up with that before me??!]
"Didn't you think I could come up with a brilliant idea, or what?" [Seriously, did she think I'm some sort of airhead who only thinks of gossip, gossip, gossip? Oops, forgot that's what we are!]
"No! I mean, of course I did. I just got a little surprised since I haven't even thought of Harry and Hermione as a couple before, that's it!" [Phew, good cover-up there Parvati]
"Oh really?" Lavender replied icily, with one eyebrow lifted. [Or maybe not…ok, Parvati. Think of something fast!]
"Hrm, Lavender? Maybe we shouldn't discuss our matchmaking schemes in front of the victim…err, I mean the lucky one!"
"Oops, I completely forgot! Yeah, guess you have a point there. It might not be so clever"
"So what are we standing here for? We have a couple to help!" grinning at each other they walked up to their dormitory.
****************************03:00, Gryffindor´s common room****************************************
7 Harry was dreaming. Actually, he was having a very pleasant dream. He had just won an especially exciting Quidditch game and everyone were surrounding him, congratulating him. Suddenly Hermione came up to him, and he pulled her into a hug. Smiling up at him, she stood up on her tiptoes, slowly inching her face closer to his. Then, from somewhere deep inside him he felt something shake his shoulder. [Weird…] the part of his brain that weren't sleeping, thought. Then another, newly awakened part joined. [Oh come on. You're just about to kiss Hermione, the girl you like! Man, if I were you I would find that dream right away before it disappears!] Then, once again, Harry could feel something shake his shoulder, only this time harder. [Oh no, not again!] The first voice said. [Hey come on, you can think of this tomorrow. Now go find that dream!] The second voice ordered. Since he was already half awake, Harry quickly returned. Back in his dream once again, he bent his head down to meet hers. Their lips were closing in…they got nearer…and nearer…and they were just about to meet when…
*SPLASH*! Harry got a shower of ice-cold water over him and were abruptly flung out from the wonderful world of dreams and instead found himself in the common room of Gryffindor. Gasping for breath, he had gotten some of the water in his lungs, he quickly sat up and started to cough.
"Oh Hi Harry! Nice to see your up!" said George's voice.
"We didn't wake you, right?" Fred asked, before he started patting Harry's back.
"Oh no, of course you didn't!" Harry said sarcastically when he was finally able to talk.
"Cause we would feel…" Fred began.
"Absolutely terrible!" George finished.
"Save the excuse, but do you mind telling me why?" Harry asked a little irritated since they after all had interrupted
his dream. And a really nice one, too!
"Well for the first…" Said George and began pricking his fingers. "You were a sleep…on the couch…in the COMMON ROOM!"
"Thanks, I've noticed!" Harry said dryly.
"And for the second…" George continued as if he hadn't heard. "You were having a wide grin on your face and it was kinda disturbing so we decided to wake…err, I mean, we "accidentally" woke you." George and Fred both tried to look innocent and not succeeding very well. They had a very amused look in their eyes and were obviously trying hard not to laugh at Harry's rather annoyed expression. He sighed. They were impossible when they were in their "teasing mood", which meant always. He sighed again and then got of the couch and headed towards his dormitory. He was just about to walk in, when Fred's voice reached him again.
"So Harry, the girl you dreamed of. Is she cute? Is she a Gryffindor?"
"I…I didn't dream of a girl!" he stuttered out, with his cheeks stained a bright red colour. George and Fred snickered.
"Of course not Harry. And the moon is blue too!" George screamed, but Harry had already sneaked inside. Shaking their heads the twins went back to their own dormitory.
8 ******************************03:00, Gryffindor***************************************************
Meanwhile, in another girl's dormitory, Angelina and Katie were playing their favourite game, to think of the silliest pair they could. Since they had invented it themselves, they merely called it "Pairings".
"Hmmm…Lavender and Cedric!" Angelina said.
"Yeah right, like that would ever happen!" Katie snorted.
"It could!"
"Yeah well, my turn! Let's see…Ron and Pansy Parkinson!"
"Eew. I hope not for poor Ron's sake. Now, how about…Hermione and George!
"Ha! Your only saying that since they're the only one left! But anyhow, I would rather say Fred and Hermione!"
"You sound pretty sure…"
"Course I am. I'm always right in this!"
"Yeah right. Then I take it you won't mind a little bet?" Katie paled a little.
"A…bet?"
"Yes, a bet. Now, you aren't a chicken, right?" Angelina asked innocently. Katie bit her lip and hesitated a few seconds, before sticking her hand in Angelina's.
"Your on! Lets say…10 galleons, shall we?" Angelina looked thoughtful first, but then looked up.
"Fine, 10 it is. They get the whole term, but they must be together for at least a month. We can interfere, but we may not use any spells or potions."
"Only plain manipulation." Katie said, grinning. Angelina also started to smile while they shook on it. Yawning, she rolled over on her back and promptly went to sleep. Katie did the same thing and finally, the dormitory was in a complete silence.

Phew! That was pretty long, huh? *Receives some odd stares* Well at least I thought it was long! *Screams in a high-pitching voice* hrm, hrm, err…so, will you please review me? But be nice, I don't want scars for life! Oh well, enough of my crappy stuff. If you liked it, which I highly doubt, I'll try to have the next chapter out soon. I don't want any reviews cause I will continue anyway! *Grins* Oh, and I would also like to dedicate this chapter to one of my best friends, Ida! Thanks in loads, gal!
